LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER2016 · 4.4L DIESEL

The 2016 Range Rover presents a stable and largely improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 March 2026 at 22,637 miles. That most recent test recorded only a minor windscreen advisory, a notable contrast to the cluster of defects flagged in the 2023 test. The trajectory from 2023 to 2026 suggests the previous owner addressed several items proactively. Brake disc wear, tyre perishing, and windscreen damage noted in March 2023 at 18,185 miles do not reappear in subsequent records, indicating those components were likely replaced or rectified before the 2024 test. The 2024 and 2026 tests are both advisory-free apart from the recurring windscreen issue, which has persisted since at least 2023 but remains within legal tolerance in zone A. The mileage profile is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. At roughly 2,264 miles per year over a decade, the recorded use is well below the UK average of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. The intervals between tests show steady but modest accumulation: 15,871 miles in March 2022, 18,185 in March 2023, 19,610 in March 2024, 20,122 in March 2025, and 22,637 in March 2026. The jump between 2025 and 2026 accounts for 2,515 miles, the largest single-year increase in the record, which may reflect a change in ownership or usage pattern. No gaps or anomalies suggest the mileage is fabricated, and the consistent annual testing pattern supports a genuine, lightly used history. Despite the low mileage, a buyer should inspect the underside carefully. Vehicles that cover fewer miles but sit stationary for extended periods can develop seized suspension bushes, binding calipers, and surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components that higher-mileage examples might avoid through regular use. The 2023 advisory on both front tyres for cracking and perishing at just 18,185 miles is a relevant data point, as it implies the vehicle may have been stationary long enough for rubber to degrade through age rather than wear. Check all tyre date codes for age-related replacement needs, even if tread depth remains adequate. The persistent windscreen advisory across three consecutive tests, from 2023 through 2026, warrants attention. While the tester has consistently judged the damage not to affect the driver's view, a stone chip in zone A on a vehicle of this value often indicates the screen has not been repaired or replaced despite repeated flagging. A buyer should assess whether the chip has propagated into a crack, as this can fail a future MOT without warning. Brake components should also be inspected physically; although the 2023 disc wear advisory did not recur, low-mileage vehicles are prone to uneven pad deposits and caliper seizure from infrequent use. Suspension, particularly front lower arms and rear trailing arm bushes, should be checked for deterioration, as Land Rover's air suspension systems on this generation are known for component fatigue that MOT records alone may not fully reveal.
